Description (you can paste this into eBay)
French 75 Franc Alpinisme issue depicting a climber on a rock face, presented as a gutter pair with attached decorative label.
Original mid-20th-century issue.
The stamps show heavy foxing on the reverse, typical of ageing paper, which reduces collector value. Front remains attractive and suitable for thematic or study collections.
